Census Records

All the censuses between 1841 and 1901 are now available on a number of fee-paying (Subscription or PayAsYouGo) sites including Ancestry.co.uk, FindMyPast.co.uk, thegenealogist.co.uk and genesreunited.co.uk. The 1911 census is available in full or in part on some of these sites. We are unable to advise on the choice of site since researchers' personal preferences will be influenced by the content and search facilities offered by each site. Some sites offer a free trial.

Access to the library edition of Ancestry.co.uk is widely available at most record offices, including Worcestershire Archives, and some libraries. You are advised to book time on their computers before making a visit.

A free-to-view site is being developed at freecen.org.uk for the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1891 censuses. Coverage of Worcestershire parishes is rather sparse at this time.

Census returns can usually be viewed at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' Family History Centres.

Some repositories offer census details on microform, disc or printed copy. These include:

Directories

An extract from the Topographical Dictionary of England 1831 by Samuel Lewis:

PEBWORTH, a parish in the upper division of the hundred of KIFTSGATE, county of GLOUCESTER, 6¼ miles (N. by W.) from Chipping-Campden, containing 620 inhabitants. The living is a discharged vicarage, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Gloucester, rated in the king's books at £ 10. 1. 2., endowed with £400 royal bounty, and £1200 parliamentary grant, and in the joint patronage of Messrs. Shekell and Millard. The church is dedicated to St. Peter. There is a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. Two small schools are endowed to a trifling extent. Several mineral springs rise in this parish, which are said to resemble the Cheltenham waters, but they are not generally known.
